In response to the uproar, the creators have come forward, claiming the advert was never intended to reach the public domain...

A representative from Kraft Foods, owner of Nabisco which produce Oreos, claim that the ad was created for a one-time use at an advertising forum and was not intended to go public.

The food company released a statement saying: “Our understanding is that they created it for use at an isolated advertising awards forum in Korea. It was never intended for consumer advertising or public distribution.”
